Guest cheshireglanza Posted September 2, 2010 Share Posted September 2, 2010 all depends on the mood off the tester Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dan507 Posted September 2, 2010 Share Posted September 2, 2010 it will fail on the decat. With the sunstrip, if anythink is in the area of the wipers is a fail. so you might be ok with thatBut you could always slip te guy sme money. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
1987glanza Posted September 2, 2010 Share Posted September 2, 2010 if its a jap import then the de-cat would be ok as you dont need to do a cat test, as for the sun strip may fail depending on the tester Quote Link to post Share on other sites
wssoR Posted September 2, 2010 Share Posted September 2, 2010 All depends on te tester the bloke I had was a knob and said he was gonna fail me on sunstrip, so I peeled it off there an then and he said pass Quote Link to post Share on other sites

wssoR Posted September 4, 2010 Share Posted September 4, 2010 They obscure visibility apparently, although technically they keep thesun out of your eyes. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
series70boy Posted September 4, 2010 Share Posted September 4, 2010 hmmmmmwill look it up properly and find out the law Quote Link to post Share on other sites
raffa_mk Posted September 4, 2010 Share Posted September 4, 2010 Just put smaller wiper blades on for when car goes in for test and put original blades on later, simples Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lukew360 Posted September 4, 2010 Share Posted September 4, 2010 Yeh it only fails on sunstrip if the wiper blades touch the strip, what raffa said is an awesome idea Quote Link to post Share on other sites
series70boy Posted September 4, 2010 Share Posted September 4, 2010 i see, (straight through my windsreen) and smaller blades is genius Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ryan5793 Posted September 4, 2010 Share Posted September 4, 2010 i thought my car would fail on the sunstrip as my wipers both clearly go over it but it still passed.. must have just got lucky? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ToyotaTech15 Posted September 5, 2010 Share Posted September 5, 2010 As it's an import the engine from the glanza isn't on the emissions machine so it SHOULD get a non cat test, also if the sunstrip is in the wiper sweep then it will fail as it's not an official document, the only thing aloud in the wiper sweep is in date tax disc and indate parking permit ,also as said above you can put on smaller blades to clear the sunstrip and as long as it's clearing the water from the screen it will pass.Gary Quote Link to post Share on other sites
